While I no longer offer supervision to students completing their basic counsellor's degree, I am happy to supervise any wishing to specialise as marriage therapists. I love working with couples and did Doctorate work in this specialised field.

There are many kinds of supervision of clinical work. Many supervisors try to get the supervisee to practise the way the supervisor practises. This usually leads to a sense of inadequacy and problems being authentic as an emerging therapist.

My style of supervision begins with the supervisee. What do they bring to the art and science of therapy? Yes, new methodologies can be learned. What is more important is the process of bringing who the therapist is into the sessions. Congruence, authenticity, intuition, and the freedom to use oneself as an instrument of change are far more important than are "techniques." After all, two-thirds of the efficacy of therapy is the relationship formed with the client.

Whatever modalities the supervisee/therapist is trained in are respected and encouraged. As long as the therapist is able to congruently use a variety of interventions (every client is different!) then the methods do not matter as much as the therapeutic relationship. I model this in the process of offering supervision.

For those wishing to deepen their ability to work with couples I am happy to assist them to gain from their efforts. Such supervisee's may have their own practise, work for an agency, or would prefer to see clients associated with my practise.

I invite any who would wish to become better therapists to contact me.
